General Info |
|
The Lodge offers a hearty mountain style breakfast to all lodge guests and all condos are stocked with coffee, cream and sugar. During the winter and at the height of the summer season you can purchase coffee and a muffin somewhere at Durango Mountain Resort just a mile up the road. Likewise lunch is available at the resort during the same time periods. Availability of dinner service varies widely from season to season. Your best bet is the Sow's Ear which is independantly owned by the chef, George Mehaffie, and is located in the Silverpick Lodge. It is the oldest dinner house on the mountain and is open more of the year than any other restaurant. Durango is full of eateries of every description. Ask at the front desk for a recommendation or just drive down Main Ave. You will not be disapointed with the choices.

Sow's Ear |
|
The Sow's Ear is the "grande dame" of Durango Mountain restaurants and is open nearly all year long. They've been serving the "Best Steaks on the Mountain" since 1986. They also serve a variety of fresh seafood and gourmet fare including small plates for those who prefer taste to portion size. The restaurant offers full bar service, an extensive wine list and children's menu.
An appetizer and bar menu including burgers are served in the lounge. The dinning room is one of the prettiest in the Durango area and offers spectacular views of the West Needles Mountains, Engineer Peak and the Hermosa Cliffs. The main dining room holds several oversized tables ideal for larger parties and the alcoves offer more intimate setting when dining with someone special. The Sow's Ear has become a favorite spot for locals to take their out of town guests and to celebrate weddings, birthdays and other special occasions.
The dining room opens at 5 pm and guests are seated until 9 pm. Hours are curtailed during the spring and late fall. So please call at 970-247-3527 to check if you are visiting then. Reservations are not required but they are recommended, especially during holidays and on weekends. Dress is casual.
